Cycloaddition of some arylnitriloxides with 3-methylenephthalide: electrocatalytic opening of the adducts

Abstract

Some 4-substituted arylnitriloxides undergo 1,3 dipolar cycloadditions with 3-methylenephthalide with formation of spirodihydroisoxazoles. These spiroadducts can be opened to the corresponding 2-(3-arylisoxazol-5-yl)benzoic acid by various methods, including thermal and acidic treatments, as well as electrooxidation. In the latter case, the ring-opening mechanism is shown to involve a catalytic electron exchange between the substrate and an intermediate ArCO2 radical.

Cycloaddítion de quelques arylnitiloxydes avec le 3-me′thylènephthalate: ouverture e′lectrocatalytique des adduits. Nous avons fait re′agir quelques arylnitriloxydes substitue′s en position 4 sur le cycle aromatique avec le 3-me′thylènephthalide via une re′action de cycloaddition [3+2]. La re′action conduit à l'obtention d'un spirohe′te′rocycle unique. Ces spiroadduits peuvent se re′arranger en acide 2-(3-arylisoxazol-5-yl)benzoïque en milieu acide ou basique, par thermolyse et par e′lectrooxydation. Dans ce dernier cas, l'ouverture s'effectue par un e′change e′lectronique catalytique entre le substrat et un radical de type ArCO2 produit interme′diairement.
